The NYPD has taken significant action against the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, seizing over 30 illegal firearms and arresting ten high-ranking members. This effort, termed "Operation Train Derailment," comes amid increased federal operations targeting gang leaders. NYPD Assistant Chief Jason Savino called these gang members the 'absolute worst of the worst' and emphasized the challenge posed by 'ghost criminals,' who often misrepresent their identity. This operation marks a critical step in addressing the gang's violent activities prevalent in New York, following their emergence coinciding with increased migration from the border.
This team is taking 10 of the absolute worst of the worst gang members, criminals in the entire city down today, and I am proud.
We dealt, quite possibly, for the first time, with what I referred to as 'ghost criminals,' who misrepresented their name and really not on our radar.
